Saw a tiny city car in New York last week. I think it’s an Aston Martin Cygnet?

Just passed a house with two red C5 Corvettes. Same spec. Hell yeah brother. Live your truth. Double your Corvettes
I went to yoga this morning in New York, but I didn’t bring actual workout clothes, so I wore this. Someone immediately came up and told me they liked my shirt
The new Audi Q9 illuminates its turn signals on the ground, so naturally I laid on the ground under the turn signals
One unexpectedly fun thing about being self-employed is that when you attend car events, your name badge also says your media outlet. My name badges now say I’m Alanis, here with Alanis
I’m in New York visiting a friend, and I heard there was an Audi event in town. I asked to join, and they picked me up in an RS 6 Avant (!!!)
The photo doesn’t do it justice, but this Honda badge is almost as big as my face
Maserati one week, Honda Pilot the next. Never let them know your next move
Whenever I’m hollering about a NASCAR wreck, Portia runs over and starts hollering at me. It’s her way of showing moral support
My loaner Maserati is gone. I’m a Honda Pilot driver now
I wrote a story about Heated Rivalry, manual sports cars, and the state of modern media for @theautopian.bsky.social www.theautopian.com/why-the-lotu...
This is what Portia does every time I try to type on my laptop
I just wanted to share my progress on my Heated Rivalry wall, which is next to my Yu-Gi-Oh walls
Spending quality time with the Maserati before it leaves
I appreciate that people online noticed me matching my dress to the Maserati
I took my loaner Maserati golfing this week, which feels like something a Maserati owner would do. I like to, you know, get in the spirit
Sometimes I think about all the tracks NASCAR’s gone to, or returned to, in recent years (North Wilkesboro, Chicago street, Chicagoland, Coronado, LA Coliseum, Hermanos Rodriguez, etc.), and I’m like: “What a cool thing to witness”
I love owning a 20-year-old Miata, because my CD player means these guys get to live in it
My dear friend Tom Matano designed my NB Miata, along with the FD Mazda RX-7. After his death, I wanted to memorialize our cars together. This was my first time drawing cars, and my first time drawing a landscape. I know he’d be so excited to see it. I miss him every day
Portia took my editing seat, so naturally I inconvenienced myself in order to not move her
It’s so hot outside while I’m filming this Lexus IS 350 that my hair is damp
